about

Three Swedes and an American bring border less music of an uncanny kind to ears alive.
Devin Gray's propelling skins ebb, sway, stagger, and tumble; Joel Grip's woody double bass creaks and moans and pummels buffeted like a tallship caught in a gale; Niklas Barnö slices streaks of pilfered lightning via trumpet and lungs; and Lars Åhlund navigates a wary course through some major double-vision with a saxophone that quits for no man. The Jolly-Boat Pirates are a high-energy collective bent on domination of the seas or a busted dingy - whichever comes first.



LINER NOTES:


UMLAUT

I GET HAPPY
(UNDER MY SKIN)
I GET SENTIMENTAL...
(OVER MY BONES)

THE SOUND THAT NEVER MUTATES
HAS FOUND SOME CLEAVER PLAYMATES.

I WAKE UP!
(ON TROP OF MY HEAD)
I START DREAMING...
(DOWN AT MY HEELS)

THIS JOLLY-BOAT OF PIRATES
IS A BILLY-GOAT THAT GYRATES.

AT WHILES WAILING ENOUGH...
(THOUGH SKIN PEELING OFF)
NEVER SENTIMENTAL!
(BONES TO FUNDAMENTAL)

WELCOME ON BOARD,
DO BRING YOUR HERD!

NOW CROWDED NOW SPACIOUS...
(STEM CRUSING CRAZY MAZES)
ALWAYS FREE-WHEELING!
(FOR STERN AND GRACIOUS HEALING)

LEAVE OUT YOUR HOARD,
SOAR HIGH LIKE A BIRD!
